Herr W. Hadert, der aus seiner früheren Tätigkeit bei der Deutschen Grammophon Akt. Ges. und später als Vertreter der Beka Record Ges. im Inland and Uebersee bei Fabrikanten und der Kundschaft sehr bekannt and beliebt ist, hat seine Beziehung zu der letztgenannten Gesellschaft gelöst. Wie wir hören, beabsichtigt Herr Hader, der in Ostasien auf sehr gute Erfolge zurückblickt, sich später nach dort zu begeben um sich dort in der Sprechmaschinen- und Kinematographenbranche zu betätigen.
